Who will be fined for planting potatoes personal?
Greetings to you, dear readers, are again Zeke and today I'll tell you more about the law, which prohibits to grow potatoes from personal seed.
On the Internet a lot of information on this subject, but, unfortunately, even in large sources emerged a lot of confusion and I want to be clear at least for their readers.
Why the ban imposed?
In short, the main reason for the ban was the risk of contamination of soil fungi and viruses that can easily get into the soil with a sick potato tubers.

That is, a person can store potatoes for planting as you like, and the state can not keep track of whether the potato is infected or not. Therefore and introduced a ban, which requires buying a proven and certified seed.
The buzz in the press and among the people
After the release of this prohibition all Russian media literally exploded news that now people are required to purchase a certified potatoes for its landing and keep your receipt of purchase and a certificate. And those people who violate these things rule will be fined in the amount of 300 rubles.
The reaction of people coming, too, did not make as potatoes in Russia almost more important than bread. And when you consider that around the same time there was a law to raise the retirement age (summer 2018), the case and the smell of roast Rosselkhoznadzor had to explain.
Who does not to put personal potatoes?
According to Rosselkhoznadzor, the ban applies only to those people and companies who sell potatoes grown. That is, if you are growing potatoes, and then sell it on the market, it really should be planted only tested and certified potatoes.
And not necessarily to buy it, it is quite possible to use your stuff after checking it in a special laboratory (cost of 2,000 rubles check).

And ordinary summer residents, who grow potatoes for his family only the ban does not apply to, and no checks / penalties will not be. It can be used as early as their potatoes for planting.

Because of this confusion, I still meet the angry comments of people who think that now they will have to buy a special potatoes to grow it for themselves. I hope I have helped at least your readers get to the truth, and if you have any questions, please write in the comments!
